It gets worse... 4G is gonna cost us $10 a month, it looks like... And not sure if its an option for the plan or not, it may just be an addon for buying the phone...
Looks like we get video chat!!!!

UPDATE*:
It might be that the $10 add-on is for Business Plans that only pay 59.99 a month.... Lets for f*** sake hope thats what they mean.
Am I correct in understanding this? You $100 mail-in rebate. You get $150 off for signing a 2 year contract. If you are eligible for the $150 upgrade rebate can you use this as well so that the cost would only be $49 after the mail-in rebate?
I have only a few mths into my new contract and I got the Hero in october. I'll be paying full price for one.
fail.
But it seems that I'll be able to get a pretty penny for mine on ebay. Especially since its been in a full phone screen protector since I bought it.

Well **** -- it looks like we're paying $10 extra a month, just for having the phone on a plan. Damnit Sprint, I knew you were gonna screw this up somehow...

Its still only 80 dollars a month for "4G" plus free mobile to mobile, text messages, and data.
Not the end of the world.
$10 for 4g isn't bad. They said it wouldn't cost more but at least it's somewhat reasonable.
Charging that for every evo regardless if that service is available or not is about the dumbest thing could do and will cost them subs they so desperately need right now.
I'm really not sure if I'm willing too pay an extra $120 pet year without 4g service.

This is the problem that I see. A ton of people want this phone but don't live in 4G, yet are charged for it... Kinda sucks. But I guess it's the same if you live in 1x, and you buy a smartphone, you still pay 3g.

Wow!! Rebates are now going to take longer than normal. Soon it's going to be 1 yr before you get a rebate
Wait and see what Wirefly and Amazon offer.I think they had the Droid Incredible for $149 or $199 flat out no rebates on Amazon.
So that $150 off they mention is for agreeing to a 2 year contract and not using your upgrade rebate? That would mean you could get it for $49 after the mail-in rebate if you are eligible for the upgrade rebate. That would be a great price!
Well i was able to get the vibrant for Tmobile for 64.99 with 2 year commitment with $20 unlimited data loyalty plan, No upgrade/ activation fee, and free 3 day shipping and intant rebate. I was offered same deal on all 5 of my lines but will only take it up on one since i want to save the other upgrades for future phone releases. Only bad part is i wont get the vibrant until tuesday .
Im thinking of picking up one at tmobile tomorrow for retail price which is$439 to play with until mine comes in and then just return it, but i dont think tmobile will like that much.
Just really happy to get such a great deal and looking foward to android coming from the iphone platform

He has 5 lines. Phone companies always treat people based on how much they pay a month. The more you pay on your phone bill the more likely you are to get deals and fee's waived.
Also I see this confusion a LOT. $439 vs $499. It seems the $439 price is only for current customers, or people well into their contract. The $499 is for everyone else.

Ive been with tmo for 8 years and have 5 lines so im sure that helped. Basicly all my lines are out of contract and had previous considered going to ATT for new iphone. Tmobile offered free upgrades on all lines for any phone they had at that time with all fees waived. But they didnt have the vibrant out yet, so they told me to call once it was out to see what deal i could have. I called once it became availabe and they offered to waived all fees, bump up shipping and and additional $100 credit to regular upgrade. They ended up giving me additional $135 because i mentioned my upgrade only said 164.99, which was different from their $199, so they just added $35 to match the price.
Tmobile takes care of their customers! I have no issues being on a commitment with them.
Nice ^^^
They really hooked you up.

I paid $499.99
i paid 499.99 also, and i've been with t-mobile for 9 years with 4 phones.
got one offered for $429+taxes (~$460) as my early upgrade price (i bought my mt3g aug last year).
moved on to the retentions folks who brought it down to $249 + taxes, which is only $50 more than a brand new contract, i was sold on that. had them make the note on my account and picked it up in-store locally for the same price! =)
loving the phone so far, big upgrade from the mytouch3g.
can't wait to get CM6 on this baby.
btw, im having market issues currently - "download failed" error. was initially able to download a couple apps, but none now despite several reboots.

If you signed a 2 year contract, then you could try to get the $50 rebate.

post your experiences here and let us all know how it goes...were you able to get $399? $499? did the employees know what they were doing or was it a huge hassle? if you had to argue/explain/haggle your way to a certain price fill us in on how, why, etc... and let us know of any other issues someone going later in the week should be wary of if any....
Called a shop in Atlanta yesterday and the guy said "499, eehm, no wait, 399." A friend of mine is picking one up for me to bring to Germany, told him he can go up to 499 if it's deadly necessary..
I talked to one of my local stores and was told $499....
just bumping this up for tomorrow...or today if anyone's lucky....
The stores here said.they were getting.them tomorrow; ill call one now and see what the pricing is; if I can get it for 400 off contract ill do that.

All I know is if I ordered through the premier site (business line) I qualified for an immediate 100 discount, which means I would get the same discount in stores. Could be the fact that I have a business line, but I'm not sure.
Granted, it looks like I'll be buying mine at a 3rd party reseller today since he's supposed to get it in stock and always does a sale before the release date if he can.
Also as far as I know it's $299 before a $100 MIR and AT&T lets you get the rebate on an off contract device if you have the qualifiers for data also. Which I will since I have my data plan and messaging plan.
naturefreak,
Have you found any stores local to you that are willing to sell you the phone today? I'm headed to Town Center in a couple hours..
My local store is selling it for $499 off contract OR $199 plus a $200 dollar upgrade fee. So buying off contract would cost me about 533 with tax, the other option would be about 412 but lock me into another 2 years. decisions decisions.
Pay $499 and submit the rebate for $100 back... that's what I'd try at least. As long as you have a qualifying voice/data plan I don't see why the rebate company would deny your $100 rebate...

Nothing in Boca, Phone Super Store in Boynton is supposed to get it today. I've got myself on their list. They should call me the moment it arrives, I'm happy I work around the corner from there.
I'm not too worried either way. I plan on showing the lady in the store tomorrow that I can order it on Premier and get an instant $100 discount and see what she says. If she gives me a hard time I'll just pay the $100 and submit the rebate form. I'm pretty sure the rebate company will give me the $100, but if by chance they don't.. no big loss. By the way, who did you ask about the $100 rebate if paying $499.. some person in the store or at telesales?

Hey, that worked 2 years ago when I bought my Bold 9000 at full retail. I swear I buy phones way too often. Since I bought that phone I have had the 9700, the Backflip, the SE C905A, the Motorola Backflip, and now the Nexus one. Next up is clearly the beast of a machine Atrix.
FU.. thats right across the street from me. Let the guy know that you know someone else who wants one.

I don't specifically know how rjohnstone got it for $149.99, but AT&T gave me an additional $50 off because it had been more than 2 years since I upgraded.

got mine for free period.

Been a Premier customer for the better part of 10 years. I spend a lot of money with them, so I typically get an extra $50 off any device I purchase.
One of the many reasons I will not leave AT&T.
Got mine for $113 out the door after RZ cerifiates that I got for free fro
Best buy because they goofed up in my account in Xmas. AT&T will price match the $129.99 from Walmart but I did not want to do it because their restocking fee is $35 ...

If I'm not eligible for an upgrade - any way I can score one of these deals? Or - even better - without extending my contract?
Amazon Wireless is now down to $129.99 but they are backordered. I have a feeling they lowered the price in order to still maintain the pace of orders until stock comes back in. Kind of sucks because I wanted to try it in Tucson next week but oh well, I'll have it when I get back.
Paid $43 for mine
Was the only guy at Radio Shack this morning (Only Dork sez the wife). When they opened another guy walked in right behind me. Turns out they only had 1 and I got it for 149, and then they offered me $106 for my iPhone 3G, which I took, so in the end $43 bucks for a phone that beats the pants off my old 3G for performance...
I admit I don't know if $106 for a so-so condition 3G is good or not, but if I consider I don't have to try and sell it, etc... and it would have sat in my drawer where it would be forgotten. All in all a good deal to me,
just got mine for $99, confusing the sales rep
He ran the phone number, premier came up and it said the price was $100 for the phone or $400 for the dock and phone and I took the phone for $100 because I hadn't yet seen the tethering/hotspot fix info that came out earlier today.
The store said that the dock required the tethering deal which requiring giving up the unlimited data. My understanding is that is half correct: you don't need the tethering plan to have the dock but you need hotspot on the phone to make it work. I further understand that it is true that the tethering plan is not avaialble at any price with unlimited;
Has anyone found it yet at Costco who generally sweetens the deals very well with chargers and cases, and often discounts.

I can only chock it up as a premier flaw. Got two for $168 shipped, no contract extension. I still have yet to be charged for them, and somehow they removed my car dock on the order, so I think they really messed my order up. Anyhow, I'm way happy with this phone. This is how android is meant to be.
